- The Disciplinary Literacy Essentials Beyond the Core Guide: Resources for Visual Arts, World Languages, Performing Arts, & more! To better support educators working in these important (and often marginalized) content areas, a team of teacher educators and consultants – supported by a professional learning community of classroom teachers – is developing The Disciplinary Literacy Essentials, Beyond the Core as a complement to the Essential Instructional Practices for Disciplinary Literacy: Grades 6 to 12. This is a living document and developing resource. In other words, you are reviewing an initial public draft that will grow and develop over time!
- Professional Learning Communities (PLC) Quick Start Guide: This resource aims to support educators as they engage in collaborative inquiry cycles within professional learning communities during implementation of the Essential Instructional Practices for Disciplinary Literacy. Examples provided will focus on middle- and high-school settings; however, educators at any level can use this guide to support effective implementation of professional learning communities focused on the Essential Practices documents found at https://literacyessentials.org/. Educators wishing to use this as a workbook are encouraged to make a copy of this document prior to recording individual or group reflections.
